Scotsdales Garden Centre Fordham

Scotsdales Garden Centre Fordham is a large, well-stocked garden centre just outside Ely and dogs are welcome inside the store on lead. You'll find plants, outdoor furniture, giftware, a food hall and a pets department – all the usual garden-centre browsing, with your dog alongside you.

The setting is a village-edge retail site with easy access from the A11 and Newmarket corridor, making it a useful stop for Ely locals and day-trippers stocking up on seasonal blooms or home and garden bits. It's the sort of place where you can tackle the shopping list without leaving the dog in the car.

The Sunflower Café is on site, but dogs aren't allowed in there. That said, the rest of the store is theirs to explore – so if you're happy to browse first and grab a coffee solo later, it's a perfectly workable visit.
